This isn’t a maxed out guide but figured I would update in a new thread as I only saw one thread where the discussion occurred about getting the statues. I dont have the specific names of every enemy and memory of my exact route but it will be good to help you get the statues regardless if you are stuck.

I basically went a round too early but it was still way more as I finished with 4.95X million emeralds in round 9 and just called it. There are no doubt ways to max out with 9.9 million for those who care to. I just don’t have the map knowledge honestly as I’m not sure how I would get that Kong bananza as an example. 

[b] Focus your build on snake bananza with Jump Beat, Low Down Beat, Slo-Mo, Hyper Hopper (not mandatory) and you can solely just focus on the round shaped jar-like enemies that I don’t know the name. I focused on them and the illuminoid enemies but those I found weren’t even needed if you just want to easily get the million. [/b]

So what I did roughly in order:

1. Grab first perk in front of you at the start. Choose the map. 

2. Grab a couple perks on way to getting snake bananza. 

3. Get snake bananza and then use the barrel by you to go up to the next level to quickly get the Better Glare skill and the perk on the wall in front of that I did get a barrel on that perk but I have found that there are some RNG to the buffs that are offered

4. you should have enough to make it through the round but since I got the exra barrel I went to go get the zebra bananza for speed and to quick switch between snake and zebra to keep momentum in movement. I also grabbed the second Better Glare skill when landing on that level right in front of me.

5. after getting Zebra quickly head back up to the level the enemy is on to finish out the round. I think there are two more enemies on that same level and you want to pause and find any perks or rare perks that may be near the enemy too. There is a zebra skill on that level that also will have a rare perk and another close by that offer good options to choose. just be mindful of your barrels.

6. IIRC the next location will be the lower level for two more back to back goals. if you have another barrel, try to time your exit to that level at the end of a round so you can then have two barrels at the start of round 3 when I think the next location takes you to to the bright light area.

essentially, just the beginning is the important part because you want to get snake, get the better glares, and that extra barrel. I was perhaps lucky to get 2 barrels plus the one you start with which really helped but three isn’t needed since these rounds go fast. by round 7 you also want to hopefully find a Max Staredown to use to help slow down time but even that isn’t needed unless people are maxing out the scores I imagine.

[b] The key is to just think of jump beat as exclusive to enemies like the buzzoids in goals, illuminoids and other ground enemies you can kill with it. low down beat I didn’t even bother to mix with jump beat but it is definitely needed for the main enemy you want to kill which are those pot like enemies. the level with the bright ore has a few on top of the pathway structure where you start the event at. those two alone can get you a million if you wait until the end. there is also one you will see where you complete goal 2 in round one or two by the lump you destroy just past the banana tree.

i hope this brief guide helps some.

is the screen size of 100ft or 1200 inches measured diagonally like physical TVs? I ask because I went outside to my backyard to see what the max screen looks like and it didn’t strike me as being what I envisioned 100ft to look like. I may just be overestimating that but 1200 inches diagonally just felt like it would have been bigger. i merely approximated it all so it certainly is likely I am the issue. just curious what others have thought or if there is more to the measurement?
